About this ebook

An inspiring tale of risking it all that will leave your heart in its happy place. 

Carefree Hannah Griffin’s life is on track: she’s spending time with friends and working to win over her new boss at work after a substantial promotion. Soon, however, disaster strikes, when a potential client refuses to answer her calls. Then Hannah’s long-time and unrequited crush, super polished Blake Remington, moves in next door.

Hannah has ignored her feelings for her best friend’s older brother by keeping her distance, but now he’s popping by every day. When Blake reveals he has an extra ticket to a couple’s golf tournament, Hannah discovers her potential client will be there and offers to be Blake’s date. One major problem: Hannah doesn’t know how to golf.

As Blake teaches Hannah to golf, she struggles with feeling out of place in his country club world. Blake’s kindness and flirting help her feel at ease. As Hannah’s feelings grow, her crush on Blake turns into love and she wonders if she and Blake might have a chance—until Blake’s classy ex returns, determined to win him back.

Will the boy Hannah has always loved break her heart, or will Blake realize she’s the one he’s been looking for?

Ratings and reviews

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Hatco Publishing via NetGalley and I am voluntarily reviewing it. This is a wonderful book. The reason for a 4 star versus a 5 for me is that the book isn't written in a dual POV format. I would have loved to get Blake's POV. I feel that it would have made for a fantastic book. I do enjoy reading the stories that this author writes. They are witty, funny and full of charm. I can really see the scenes playing out more like a movie. Hannah had crushed on her BFF's older brother Blake for years. She hasn't seen him in over 5 years but still thinks of him. Unfortunately for her, Blake moves next door and her feelings for him come crashing back. He is from money and she is not. I mean really she doesn't even know how to eat caviar! (Hilariously funny). Just as Hannah feels like she can date him, his ex-girlfriend comes back and throws a wrench into the budding relationship. This is a sweet, clean romance that anyone would enjoy. I do highly recommend it to anyone. You will enjoy this even you are like me and prefer a dual POV.

This was a lot funnier than I expected. I found myself trying to be quiet so as not to wake the whole house. I really just wanted to laugh out loud. This is quirky, funny, sweet, with some low angst thrown in. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Oh my gosh! This is just so utterly adorable. It’s a little bit second chance, a whole lot best friend’s sibling, and all kinds of fun. My heart broke for Hannah every time it looked like she wasn’t going to achieve her dreams. There were so many times I wanted to take Blake and shake some sense into him. It was so easy to see how much he cared for Hannah, but he kept letting circumstances get between them. I loved the ending. It’s so sweet, and cute, and is pretty much the perfect Hallmark movie moment. I received a complimentary copy of this book through Booksprout.
